The Hot Springs/Hot Springs Village Symphony Guild is delighted to present the second Classic Series concert “Dances and Songs for Strings, Wood and Winds: Colorful Voices in Concert” on Sunday March 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. at Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines (275 Asturias Drive). General admission is $10. Tickets can be purchased at symphonyguild.org (your email confirmation serves as your ticket) or at the door. The concert will last approximately one hour and will be followed by a meet-and-greet with the artists.

Artists: Susan Antonetti and friends (including ASO harpist Alisa Bekebrede (née Coffey) on a chamber piece and a solo piece). Susan Antonetti’s the Flute professor at UALR and Harding; runs The Alchēmia Flute Ensemble in LR. Excellent musician; principal piccolo of LR Wind Symphony. She does a big gala flute/chamber music recital every fall – They are wonderful, varied programs that use many different high-quality players (many ASO players and LR Wind Symphony principal musicians). I played with them last year and they were very impressive, especially the marimba soloist and the alto sax soloist (who is a rare talent!). They have confirmed their availability. They will be playing a variety of pieces for different combinations of flute, marimba, alto saxophone, clarinet, bassoon, French horn and harp. Susan, Alisa Bekebrede (née Coffey) and Dr. Mary Ritch will also be playing a piece for flute, horn and harp on this concert, as well as Alisa on a French solo piece.
